Departure facilities are excellent. Ground staff of the airline you are flying will largely
determine your experience. They are usually quite good in Dhaka. Arrival facilities are a mixed
bag. Immigration signs are large and clear upon disembarking your aircraft. Passport Control slow
but functioning. Nothing to worry about. Baggage handling a bit messy. Conveyor belts are on two
sides of passport control. I went back and forth between the two since they kept changing their
minds about where to dump our luggage. Eventually they settled on one belt. Note: Bags can arrive on
a belt adjacent to the one they mentioned on the board. Also the new conveyor belts are a little
narrow meaning your suitcases have a hard time staying on them. Look around a bit if you cannot find
your bags. If you are arriving from Europe or North America, you may be asked to jump the queue and
exit the terminal ahead of those arriving from the Middle East who are subject to rigorous customs
checking. Arriving in Dhaka would be a more pleasant experience if baggage handling was more
disciplined. It must be mentioned that people who have travelled to Dhaka over the last few years
will definitely appreciate that things are however much better that they used to be.
